Ok, so...
My family is in town for my cousin's graduation, and they were trying to find someplace to watch the boxing match between Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather. I'm not a boxing fan, but I'll watch a big fight if I'm with other people who are watching it. This happens to be the biggest fight in a long time. HBO has even had a series following all the preparations and hype leading up to it. So anyway, my family wanted to find a place to go to watch the fight. I figured Gator's Dockside would be showing it, since they show everything, so I called them first. To my extreme surprise, they weren't showing it. So I called Ale House. And Hops. And Hooters. And every restaurant that has a tv, but noooooo one was showing it! What's going on here?! At about 3 or 4 places, I got a response similar to this: "Thank you for calling Beef O'Brady's. We're not showing the fight." So unfortunately, no one in my family will be seeing the biggest fight of the year.
Earlier today, however, we were all able to watch the biggest horse race of the year: the Kentucky Derby. I come from a family of big horse racing fans. We were eating at Red Lobster when everyone realized that it was getting closer to the time of the race. I've never seen a group of people leave a restaurant so fast. (Actually, I've seen four people leave Mellow Mushroom in a big hurry, but that's another story). You should've seen everyone run up the steps when we got back to the hotel. We all picked a horse and placed our bets. My little brother's horse, Street Sense, won the race. My brother's got big pockets now, raking in $8. I would absolutely love to go to the Kentucky Derby one day.
